Chapter 124: Escape
“The demons I know are said to be transformed from other creatures. They could originally be human cultivators or powerful members of the Demon Race, or even some powerful ghosts. However, no matter their original form, once they are transformed into demonic beings, they not only become overwhelmingly powerful, but they also become cruel and bloodthirsty, even attacking any other normal creatures that approach them without reason.” Bai Xiaotian fell silent for a moment, barely able to explain further.
“If that is the case, the harm of these demonic beings is indeed far greater than that of the Demon Race and ghosts.” After hearing this, Shen Luo couldn’t help but cluck his tongue in awe.
“This only refers to ordinary demonic beings. Some powerful demonic beings, it is rumored, even possess the terrifying ability to actively transform other creatures into demons. If they were to wreak havoc, the situation would only worsen.” Bai Xiaotian added.
“Considering how dangerous these demonic beings are, the world of the Great Tang is surprisingly peaceful. I assume the court and the cultivation sects within the territory are making significant efforts, right?” Shen Luo, suddenly thinking of Lu Huaming, asked subconsciously.
“From what I understand, I’m not sure how the court deals with it. However, in some important provincial capitals, there are usually one or two demon exorcising families like the Bai family, covertly fighting against the demonic beings. Ordinary people and most low order cultivators are simply unaware of their existence.” Bai Xiaotian provided thoughtfully.
“The demon exorcising families are so mysterious, I feel relieved going to your Bai family. By the way, you never told me before, where is your home?” Shen Luo heaved a sigh of relief, then changed the direction of the conversation.
“Didn’t I tell you? My home is in Jianye?” Bai Xiaotian was somewhat puzzled by Shen Luo’s question.
“When did you tell me that? Jianye, I’ve never been there, but I know it’s a long journey from here. Even if we were to ride fast horses, traveling day and night without rest, wouldn’t it take at least half a month to get there?” Shen Luo began to worry again.
“That’s not necessary, we can travel by water first, and follow the Bailian River downstream towards Jiangyu County. From there, we’ll take a fast horse, and it will take at most ten days to reach.” Bai Xiaotian shook his head in response.
